Simulating a New Material to Replace Silicon

600 atoms, 5,000 electrons simulated
across 50 different models of a material
known as hafnium silicates.
!

Only now—thanks to the evolution of
algorithms and their mapping to such an
extremely scalable and balanced
architecture—are scientists able to
create realistic models with several
thousands of particles, starting only from
the laws of nature.

Simulating a New Material to Replace Lithium-Cadmium and Lithium-Ion (Battery 500 Project)

At the ab initio level simulated a realistic
lithium/air (Li2O2) battery electrolyte,
consisting of 44 propylene carbonate
molecules


Discovered that Li2O2 forms a tight-contact
ion pair, with an extremely strong
electrostatic interaction between lithium and
oxygen


Findings support the possibility that in
lithium/air cells, oxygen may still be reduced
to peroxide, with the formation of solid Li2O2
making it a plausible candidate

Engaging with Millennials (1980-2000) and Why they are Important

97%
agree “people my age
are the most digitally
savvy

<

38%
can’t go 10 minutes
without checking their
mobile device

75%
have social
networking profiles

Power of the Crowd (External)

A poll for the British Medical Journal suggests
13% of doctors and scientists know of
colleagues who have falsified data to get their
research published
!

Industrial Methodology for Process Verification
of Research or SBV IMPROVER is a new peer
review scheme for quality assurance in
systems biology research
!

Based on the concept of crowd sourcing, which
uses the Internet and the scientific community
at-large to assess the quality of analysis and
predictions of systems biology data

Watson Discovery Advisor

Watson Discovery Advisor, is designed to
accelerate and strengthen research and
development projects in industries such
as pharmaceutical and biotechnology.
!

Using Watson’s cognitive intelligence it
will save researchers the time needed to
pore though millions of articles,
journals and studies to pinpoint
connections within the data that can
strengthen and accelerate their work.

What would you ask Watson?
Where should we put our R&D
budget in 2020?

Why should we consider making
solar panels from perovskite
crystals?
What can we do with trigonelline
alkaloids to improve the aroma of
coffee?

Computational Creativity
As part of its quest to develop cognitive systems, IBM Research is exploring whether a computer can be creative by
designing a machine that can create surprising yet flavorful recipe ideas no cookbook has ever thought of in order to
enhance human creativity.

Key Takeaways

! Radical change in how we work, Internal and
External Collaboration essential
! Data is the new natural resource
! The computing systems scale exponentially
! By 2020 these tools will become standards for
doing R&D, don’t get left behind
! Today is just the first in what we hope will become
an ongoing dialog
! What would you ask Watson?
